Purpose

Calling Sequence

Description

DXSET sets a variable value at any point in the IDL call stack.
The DXGET and DXSET routines allow any variable at any level to be
examined and changed.
The call level to be examined is determined by the current
debugging "focus." By default this is the deepest level in the
call stack -- where the breakpoint occurred. However, this level
can be changed by using the DXUP and DXDOWN procedures.
If the variable doesn't exist, then an error message is reported,
and the variable is not set.

Inputs

NAME - the name of the variable, either quoted or unquoted.
VALUE - the new value of the variable.

Keywords

LEVEL - the call level to be examined, if not the current
debugging focus.

Example

dxset, 'a', 5
Set the value of the variable A to 5 in the currently debugged
call level.
